Loss of power 200 81

posted by  someone claiming to be Josh Lasserre on  Mon Nov 27 08:15 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hey all,

Ever since I slammed on the brakes the other

day my car has been running like hell. The car

starts and idles fine but exhibits intermittent

twitches. As soon as I engage drive it seems that

all power is sucked from the engine and it struggles

to idle. This is not so apparent when the engine is

cold as it heats up it hickupps and stalls, I really

can't get it up to speed once it is warm. Recently

many of the vacum leaks that I had were looked

corrected. I just changed the fuel filter I'm

kind of at a loss, the car had been running so

well recently but I really can't use it now.

I'm kind of thinking that when I slammed

on the brakes that I kicked up a bunch

of trash in the gas tank and somehow clogged

the injectors...I dunno. When it's not in

drive and idling I can manually rev it up

though it hickupps, under power it just

can't cut it. What do yaw'll think?
